Low Sunday 2023 50th Priestly Anniversary of Fr. Ward We are here first to love and honor God, because this day is dedicated to thanking Him. We thank God for sending us a holy priest, for the Church, and for her truth. What better day to speak about the priesthood than the day on which we were given the sacrament of Penance. The words of Our Lord, “you shall be holy because I am holy,” were said to everyone, but first of all to His priests. It was Christ who said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God.” Priests are privileged to share in the royal lineage as Christ Himself. #20230416S
2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2022 With the vocation of fatherhood being so attacked in the world today, it is more important than ever for Catholic fathers to hold fast to the holy principals of their vocation. True manhood, with its accompanying virtues of perseverance, responsibility, and love of neighbor, is the essential foundation for this vocation. The father as the head of the family is responsible before all others for, not only the intellectual, but also the spiritual education of his children. In following the example of the great saintly fathers of Catholic history, men will be able to meet the expectation of this most necessary calling. #20220619B
Holy Thursday 2022 Today is a good day to remind everyone about how to receive Holy Communion properly. The Epistle is a warning from St. Paul that is timely because we live in a time of unprecedented sacrileges against Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The Gospel describes the Mandatum when Christ washed the feet of His apostles. This was the first interruption of what was the last Passover meal. The second interruption near the end when when Our Lord gave His most precious gift just before His death – Himself in the Holy Eucharist. This is the supreme sacrament in the Church that everything revolves around. The Mass and priesthood which were instituted this night with the Holy Eucharist are essential to Its continuation to the end of time. All the problems which face us can and will be solved by God in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. #20220414
Sermon On The Feast of St. Joseph 2022 Devotion to St. Joseph can be seen in the testimony of St. Teresa, Mary of Agreda and the prophetic words of Isidore of Isolanus. It flows from his vocation as spouse of the Mother of God which was an essential component of the Incarnation and guarding of Our Lady and the Son of God. St. Joseph had purity which enabled him to fulfill this role, not only towards the Blessed Virgin but as a virginal father to Christ in imitation of God the Father. St. Joseph was a pious man who led the Holy Family in their liturgical observances and is the first traditional Catholic. He often was faced with challenges that tested his virtue, but he relied on God for assistance which always came. Therefore St. Joseph is patron of all people and walks of life so we can go to him with confidence. #20220319
Ember Friday In Advent 2021 & Profession Day Congratulations for bravery, fearlessness and confidence in God as you pledge yourself to our religious community in the pursuit of sanctity and infused prayer. This is your next step on the road to the priesthood. Follow St. Paul’s advice to forget what is past and strain forward for the future prize. The devil hates priests and those preparing for ordination; however, not for you to worry because you are invincible and invulnerable thanks to God’s help. What is the characteristic of a good priest? Such a priest imitates the Sacred Heart and communicates His love to all. The priest should not live and preach as a sterile professor but with a fiery heart like Our Lord’s. #20211217
Wedding of Tyler & Patricia Smith This is a happy day for the bride and groom and all who know and love you. The marriage bond was given by God to Adam and Eve and then it was raised to a sacrament by Christ when He walked among us. The purposes of this sacrament are the procreation and education of children, mutual support and a remedy to concupiscence. The primary purpose is raising children, not just to live in this world but, for heaven. This holy institution demands responsible adults whose love for each other gives them the ability to share sufferings together and to be humble in bearing one another’s weaknesses. Through this you will both have a happy life together and win a reward in heaven. #20211113K
1st Friday Conference, October 2021 This conference begins with a sobering account of the current problems with the validity of the sacraments because of the devil’s hatred of priests and the means of salvation. The story of today’s Saint Remy is encouraging in the face of this new paganism because this holy bishop baptized Clovis which began the life of the eldest daughter of the Church – France. This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and quotations about it from the saints encourage us to pray it devoutly. Finally, we recall our holy pope, St. Pius X, who enriched the Church and souls during his papacy. His love for God and neighbor was evident in his efforts to preserve the Faith pure and undefiled, to honor Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, to emphasize the Liturgy, increase devotion to the Holy Eucharist, increase study of the Bible, restore Gregorian chant, revise the Code of Canon Law, reform the Breviary and much more. His sanctity was attested by conversions and miracles during his lifetime and during this canonization process. He is our strong protector and supporter today against the evil of modernism. #20211001
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2021 Profession of Sr. Josepha
All profession days are beautiful moments for our religious communities and for the people. Today is also unique and reminiscent of Jesus’ words about St. Paul at his conversion, “I will teach him to suffer for My Name”. This joyful day is also a pure and perfect sacrifice in union with Our Lord on the Cross. The means of this oblation are the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity and obedience that were professed this morning before Mass. These are counsels from the Gospel which are for those called to embrace them and who are generous in doing so. All the baptized must live the spirit of the vows but religious practice them. Now begins the work of living the interior life deeply and thereby becoming a fruitful spouse of Christ. There is much to learn about the theological virtues and the vows but the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Mother will be your guides. Be stout-hearted because the Lord is your light and salvation and He will never forget you. #20210908
Feast Of Saints Peter & Paul 2021 This feast honors Saints Peter and Paul who were martyred in Rome on this day. Today concentrates on St. Peter and tomorrow is dedicated to St. Paul. The Introit and Epistle show us the deliverance of St. Peter from Herod at the last moment and the Gospel etc. point to St. Peter’s special mission from Our Lord as the rock upon which He will build His Church. Christ gave Simon Bar-Jona training that tempered his natural impetuosity and made him into the humble and wise visible head of His Mystical Body. We can rest assured that St. Peter continues to safeguard the Church and its members today and will see that we are safe from harm and the machinations of the evil one. St. Peter will also teach us in our personal lives how to overcome our own vices to become true followers of Our Lord. #20210629M
4th Sunday After Pentecost 2021 The season after Pentecost is the time for making saints because by grace the kingdom of God is within you through the indwelling of the Holy Trinity. The liturgy is best expressed in the Holy Mass and then through the Divine Office. The Holy Rosary is next in importance as the means provided for us to increase in charity. We learn from the bible readings assigned to these weeks the history of salvation. This Sunday reminds us of David and Goliath and St. Augustine interprets that for us. The Gospel points out the mission given by Christ to St. Peter and his successors. The saints for this week show these truths in action especially St. John the Baptist and the Roman martyrs Sts. John and Paul. Finally, it is good to note that Fathers’ Day comes during the month of the Sacred Heart. #20210620M
